Toile Table Slipcover



I know tables usually get a "cloth" or a "skirt", but a slipcover just seemed more fitting for this project. 





I bought this table at Home Goods on super clearance.  Although I like the decorative painting on top, it doesn't really match my decor.  Two choices - paint or cover.  Since I really liked the finish on the table I decided to make a slipcover.



I cut a circle out of the ticking fabric for the top,  sewed cording around the circle, added a 5 inch band of toile around that, and sewed on more cording. 



I then cut a 10 inch band of ticking and formed 2 inch pleats.  Sewed that on and Ta Da! A easy and inexpensive (the fabric was leftover) side table.




Of course " you know who"  had to be the center of attention.



I will be linking this to Transformation Thursday, Boardwalk Bragfest, and Furniture Feature Friday, and Show and Tell Friday.

    That is so totally cool! Who would have thought to do that? I love the look of the toile, and how very clever to use it as it as a table slipcover. I looks so very romantic and pulled together. Gorgeous! I also love the ambiance of the room as a whole. Your accessories and decorations are perfect! I'm so glad I'm going to be able to show you off and brag about you all day long. You also have a new follower...me! You come and show you wonderful ideas every week at the boardwalk bragfest... Isn't it fun to brag?

    I totally have that toile! I think I'll have to dig it out of the back of the drawer and do something with it! You are a very talented sewer.

    I love this idea! I have a round table that I inherited from my MIL...I have never really liked it but still couldn't part with it. This will be a great way for me to give it a new life. Thanks for the idea (and my mom is an excellent seamstress so when I say I'm going to do this I really mean she's going to do it...she just doesn't know it yet!!)

    Hi Janet,
    thanks so much for leaving your nice comment today! I think we have a lot in common. You know my laundry room, kitchen chairs, and a few other things are all done in that same red toile!! It looks fabulous on that table! You certainly do a great job sewing especially on one big circle!!!

    oh, and I have the same white pitcher you have sitting on your newly covered table! I found it w/ the matching basin bowl at goodwill a couple years ago for $15! I about broke my neck lunging for it after the clerk set it down! :o}

    I love this! I've slipcovered a lot of uphostered furniture, but never a table. I love the tailored look and the way you used trim and the pleated skirt. Well done! And, of course, I love the ironstone pitcher. Love ironstone!

    Very clever! I love it! Of course, I'm a fan of toile and I don't think I've ever seen something I didn't like that had toile in it.
